The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

(The chronicles of driving, parking and packing)

My suitcase lies open on the floor. It has been the second week I am trying to pack it. The first time I put everything I wanted to take I had to get an additional bag. That was not optional. The airline was inexorable about baggage weight. I was forced to reduce ( Read more... )

"Tessa! Call your dogs. They are fighting again." ("They are chewing my Barbie-doll. I can't play my play station. They sit on the sofa and there is no place for me". You pick but it is never the same with them). I hear that hundred times a day. "TJ, Tanner" - I yell, and two big, stinky, sloppy, messy and hairy dogs rush into the kitchen. They ( Read more... )

Living in a G - rated world, I trully enjoy R-rated movies where characters swear every five seconds in all possible ways limited by the English Language.

Last summer, I turned 26. Oh what a day it was. The weather, as if hearing my prayers to escape the celebration, presented the opportunity with a thunderstorm- no electricity for 3 days and a short memory loss for an event. Yes, not that many people remembered it was my birthday. I am not blaming or judging them. Sometimes I wish I could forget how ( Read more... )

I started to travel being 3 month old. My mother was the youngest in her family among other 12 kids. I was born when all my cousins were married already and had their own kids. My mother was 39.

My mother's mother, mom-mom, lived in the other city and was a very old woman. My parents drove all the way to her place to show me. She did not live to ( Read more... )

Oh, baby, won't you play me
"Le Jazz Hot" maybe
And don't ever let it end.
I tell ya, friends, it's really something to hear,
I can't sit still when there's that rhythm near me.
Also, baby, "Le Jazz Hot" maybe
What's holdin' my soul together.
Don't know whether it's morning or night,
Only know it's sounding right.
So come on in an' play me
"Le Jazz Hot", ( Read more... )

people tell me I am funny and easy-going with a sense of humor. I never object, but hej, try living with me! -)))))))

On Monday I made a very, very, very bad shoes decision. I wore heels to work. Day turned to be long, circles I made around the campus big and multiple and the hit was slightly over the head. Well, now I am wearing flip flops and Scooby-Doo band-ade for the whole week in any weather.

On Wednesday I was way behind my class schedule. I did not have ( Read more... )

I am doomed. Seriously. As if it is not enough to be a woman and be doomed just by being her ( Read more... )
